This role demands deep technical expertise across bare-metal provisioning, configuration management, and full-stack automation—from hardware to Kubernetes—built entirely on GitOps principles.

Key Responsibilities

· Architect, lead, and implement a fully automated, zero-touch deployment pipeline for GPU cloud infrastructure spanning hardware → OS → Kubernetes → platform layers.

· Build robust GitOps-based workflows to manage end-to-end infrastructure lifecycle—from provisioning to continuous compliance.

· Design and maintain automation for:

o Bare-metal control: Power cycling, provisioning, remote installs

o Firmware and configuration flashing: BIOS, NIC, RAID, etc.

o Hardware inventory management

o Configuration drift detection and remediation

· Develop and extend internal automation frameworks using Ansible, Python, and related infrastructure tooling.

· Serve as a technical authority and mentor, guiding junior engineers and collaborating cross-functionally with hardware, SRE, and platform engineering teams.

· Lead architectural and design reviews for infrastructure automation systems.

· Define and implement best practices for infrastructure as code, compliance, and operational resilience.

· Champion automation-driven operational models and reduce manual intervention to near-zero.

· Bonus: Familiarity with Terraform, Chef, and Cloud Automation Platforms.

· Proven experience with bare-metal automation in data center environments, including:

o Power control and PXE booting

o BIOS/NIC/RAID firmware upgrades

o Hardware and platform inventory systems

· Strong foundation in Linux systems, networking, and Kubernetes infrastructure.

· Fluency with GitOps workflows and tools.

· Experience with CI/CD systems and managing Git-based pipelines for infrastructure.

· Familiarity with infrastructure monitoring, logging, and drift detection.

· Strong cross-team collaboration and communication skills, especially across hardware, platform, and SRE teams.

· Bonus:
